The CXXD library uses various terms, some of which will subsequently be explained
in fuller terms. This section of the documentation is just a reference for
the terminology, which will be encountered later in the documentation, rather
than a full explanation. Some of the terminology has already been mentioned
but will be denoted again here.

-
mod = An implementation of either a Boost library or its C++ standard library
equivalent.
-
dual library = A particular Boost or C++ standard library chosen for each
mod.
-
mod header = header file for using a mod
-
implementation header = a low level header file automatically included
by the mod header
-
header file = normal C++ header file
-
mod-ID = preprocessing identifier for a mod
-
module = executable or shared/static library
-
TU = translation unit
-
variant = a non-header only library generated with a different name but
the same CXXD code.
-
